THE fly fishing thread.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Is life really all about money? Ive heard from A LOT of old folks.."enjoy life while your young". I used to wk in a hospital. We dont live up here to make money. We live up here to enjoy life. That is why I can fish 7 days a week. Even if I only have an hr of light after I get off wk. We arent rich...but we live a rich life.

Looks like you have it made G! I'm a Fisherman/Hunter stuck in the city. If I could make the money I do in the city while living in mountains, I'd e all over it. I don't get to bring out the 4wt as often as I'd like. it's about that time here for some midging.

That's why I moved to the mountains last year. I used to have to drive 1hr plus for any fishing, now there's a gold medal river 5 minutes away! It's a little harder to make a living up here, but all the benefits are well worth it!

Good to hear fisher! I'm sure the folk in ur town are much more pleasant as well. Mountain/island people are much more pleasant to be around than your average city folk...IMO.

Out again today. Not as good as the last few outings. Managed to land about 10 today. Dang sissy check sets lost me a bunch of takes today :(

Unfortunately I've adapted this lifestyle for now. I went to school to make money and retire early. The woman wants to move out of the city in 5 years or so. I suppose I'd rather work hard now and be able to enjoy the time with the kids when it's time.

Well guys I'm not a fly fisherman I'm just going to put that out there now lol so your probably never gone see me in this thread again but the one and only time ive ever picked up a fly rod in my life this is what i have to show for it on my trip to upstate New York this year one of my buddy that lives up there is a big fly fisherman so when I meet him at his place we went out fish and when we were fishing he sat down to eat lunch so pick up his fly rod and started screwing around well needless to say isn't that when it always happens when you least expect it lmao Idunno what he had on for a fly or what his setup was but all of a sudden this fish slammed the fly or whatever he had on and took off now it's not to big a fish but I've never felt like I've had such little control over a fish haha and I'm use to catch big sturgeon when I go to Canada so this little 14 pound fish should have been nothing but on his fly rod oh my it was a whole world I wasnt expecting and didn't plan on happening but needless to say like 20 minutes later this is what I had to show for... all from screwing around imagine that never picked up a fly rod before in my life I couldn't even tell you were to start with a fly rod or fly stuff and I've been fishing since I was 1 so that shows you what nonsense luck this was even my buddy couldn't believe it lmao
